Scaled Drops from Halloweeen?

I'm a little...ok, very disappointed with this event. So I have some questions:

1. With so many high level people learning that they can walk through walls doing boss runs, and that no one can create a room, how do we get scaled drops?
2. With the vanity bags you have an opportunity to get a "drop" basically, why cannot this pink item be sold or traded? (yes I'm sure it is because the bag was bought with plat, but it clearly states it is a random chance to get a good item)
3. Does anyone have a screen shot showing any Halloween items dropping anywhere other than the Halloween Halls?
4. Last years event, where did the drops come from?

Just wondering why we all created these farmers when there is no way to farm?
